We are glad to invite you to the Final Event of the GO-GRASS project “Unlocking the potential of Grass: new business opportunities for rural areas”, which will take place from 12th to 13th March 2024 in Brussels at the Headquarters of our hosting partner Greenovate ! Europe.

The GO-GRASS Final Event offers you the opportunity to hear and discuss the projects final results and implications for grass-based businesses in a future bio-based economy. The conference event will feature a tool session for circular business models and technologies developed in GO-GRASS as well as two policy panels with high-level representatives from different stakeholders at EU, national and local level. We expect some insightful debates on the policy recommendations published  in the GO-GRASS White Paper for grassland opportunities. The event will end with a networking drink at the venue in Brussels, where participants will be able to exchange views.

A highlight will be the Demonstration case visit on Wednesday 13 March, which is fully organised, including transport and a visit to the nearby grass-based paper production facilities in the Netherlands (Dutch demonstration site).

SAVE THE DATE TO JOIN THE DANISH GO-GRASS JOURNEY OF GREEN BIOREFINING, A UNIQUELY DESIGNED EVENT AT AARHUS UNIVERSITY FOULUM IN DENMARK FROM 23 TO 24 MAY 2023.

We have great pleasure in announcing the Danish GO-GRASS International event that will be held on 23 and 24 May 2023, at Aarhus University Foulum in Denmark, where multiple experts from across Europe, will gather for networking, collaborating, and inspiring each other.

This exclusively designed event is set to evoke fruitful discussions about green biorefining in regions across EU, to inspire innovation to transform natural resources of grass land biomass into valuable assets and to explore the potential of future pan-European collaboration, while being customized to cater the specific needs and interests of experts from the field of green biorefining.

Why should you attend this bespoke event?
The Danish GO-GRASS partners have gained knowledge, created technology, tested and developed a green biorefinery concept which can produce a protein concentrate proven to substitute soy meal for monogastric animals, a suitable feed for ruminant dairy cows and integration with biogas production, and they would like to share their findings and demonstrate their Green Biorefinery Demoplatform to experts and influencers in the field of green biorefining with the aim to learn, share and inspire like-minded experts. 

During this event we will DISCUSS – EXPLORE – INSPIRE the future of EU support, the possibility of technology replication, and the how-to of launching a pan-European Network of Green Biorefineries.

What to expect?
The event will be spread across two days. We will begin on 23 May in the afternoon with the tour of the Danish green biorefinery Demoplatform facilities, where the story of the Danish GO-GRASS Demo will be presented, and all the technical questions will be answered. We will conclude the first day with a social dinner so you can network with your peers and get to know experts from all over Europe.

The second day, 24 May, will be half a day of presentations from multiple important actors, followed by interesting exercises and group work, where important discussions about the future possibilities will be held and exclusive insights from different countries will be shared.

If interested, please register here by 15 May 2023!
